1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pune's red-light area, the second largest red-light area in Maharashtra after Mumbai and houses close to five thousand cis female sex workers from India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The denial of housing, a basic human right, forces women into unsafe practices, affecting their livelihood and well-being. Using survey data and interviews, the paper examines the precarious living conditions of the sex workers, access to housing and property, tenancy arrangements and political economy of the business. Further the paper discusses how sex workers in Budhwar Peth creatively manage and profit from their living spaces despite facing legal challenges in securing formal property rights. The paper suggests that the housing rights is essential for sex workers for their safety, legal protection, economic stability and overall wellbeing.
